Versions

Contents

This list is not comprehensive. It was not kept in great detail over the development, but still captures the vast majority of polish changes and content additions provided.

Polish / Modifications -- Considered general improvements that apply to both Vanilla and Advanced Edition versions of the game.

Weapon Depower Delay - After removing or losing power a weapon will quickly lose its charge over time rather than immediately lose all charge.

Additional Music: Ben Prunty has added four new tracks, one of which is only heard within the Advanced Edition Lanius sector.

New Events: New event scattered throughout the game, some penned by Planescape writer Chris Avellone.

Additional manning options: Doors and sensors can be manned to provide a +1 level boost to the system. Systems redesigned to 4 levels of power instead of the previous 3. Sensors at level 3 show the player the cooldowns of enemy weapons, while sensors at level 4 show the power bars.

Store Tabs: Stores can now have an additional tab, often increasing the amount of equipment/crew sold by 50-100%.

MacBooks with ATI X1600 video cards will potentially function both in fullscreen and windowed. I do not have access to a MacBook with that video card, so if you're experiencing that problem please update me!

Mac OS X version now implements Left-Ctrl+Left-Click to be equivalent to Right-Click

Fullscreen Changes

Fullscreen stretch now works differently and should be more effective at properly "stretching" to fill your screen

Monitors that support 2560x1440 should be properly scaling and look much better (I'm jealous)

Monitors with resolutions less than 1280x720 may now function in Fullscreen Stretched depending on your * OpenGL support

A more elaborate manual mode is available for tweaking your desired resolution effect within settings.ini

Additional Video Settings

V-Sync can be activated within options mode. Depending on your system, you still might need to force it on or off from your video card control panel as well.

Frame limiting is also available from the options. Between the two (V-Sync vs. Frame Limiting), pick the one that works best for you to balance performance and cpu use.

Additional Game Settings

Within options you can enable paths to be drawn when hovering over a beacon.

Dialog keys will now have a brief delay before they are active, this can be disabled within the options.
